    Forensic Entomology

    A Forensic Study on the Effects of Seawater on the Growth Rate of Local Sarcophagid and Calliphorid Larvae R
    Maggot Mass Temperature and ADH (Accumulated Degree Hours) R R

    Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA)

    Simulate a crime scene using fake blood, and predict where the blood-shedding event occurred, using blood-spatter analysis. R
    Learn about forensic science by performing balloon spatter experiments. R
    Determine which blood substitute would best match the spatter patterns and drop stain patterns of real blood, so that a blood substitute may be used in an active investigation. R
    Determine whether the materials used or the heights from which blood is dropped affect the diameter of the resulting spatter. R
    Determine whether the materials on which the blood is dropped or the heights from which it is dropped affects the diameter and shape of the resulting spatter. R R R

    Forensic Anthropology

    Study the science of mummification by mummifying a hot dog using baking soda. R
    How did the Egyptians Mummify? S
    Identification by Dental Structures R
    Identification by Hair Analysis R
    What environmental factors favor decomposition by soil microbes R

    DNA Forensics

    Exploring a Sequencing-based Human Identification Method as a Replacement for Current Fragment Sizing Technology R
    Which method is more reliable: forensic DNA analysis or microscopic hair analysis. R
    Test if unique DNA sequences can create individual fingerprints that are also unique. R
    Can DNA fingerprinting with the help of restriction enzymes help solve a crime scene mystery? R
    Building Your Own Tool for Identifying DNA (Gel electrophoresis Chamber) R
    Absorbtion and Extraction of DNA from Various Fabrics R

    Lineup Identification

    Testing for Bias in a Photo Lineup R
    Find the most accurate type of criminal identification lineup (sequential lineup, sequential lineup field, simultaneous lineup, simultaneous lineup field). R R
    Determine if the method of identification used in a photo line up, simultaneous method (viewed all at once) vs. the sequential method (viewed one at a time), affects the accuracy of the eyewitness identification. R

    Eyewitness Identification

    Examining whether gender, distance from subject, and delay in recollection time affect the accuracy of eyewitness reporting. R
    Eyewitness Accuracy in Children R
    Find out which is a more effective method of crime solving, eyewitness accounts or handwriting analysis. R
    Find out how accurate observation is done by eyewitness. R
